San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Seismic Safety Retrofit Project

Last updated 11/2/09

The Bay Bridge is now open in both directions following Caltrans' successful completion of repairs. For information on the eyebar repair, please visit baybridgeinfo.org.

Caltrans continues to work on a massive seismic safety project to rebuild and reinforce the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. Crucial seismic safety work on the East Span was successfully completed over Labor Day weekend 2009. Traffic has been rerouted onto a new detour structure just east of Yerba Buena Island tunnel. Motorists are advised that there are two new S-curves to navigate in this area, and the speed limit has been lowered to 40 miles per hour.

• Call 511 and ask for "traffic conditions" or visit the 511 Traffic page for the most up-to-date info on closures and traffic delays.
